Forgiveness in Hinduism is a very broad precept encompassing various other attributes of Hinduism. Primarily we ask forgiveness for wrongdoings of present or past lives indulged by us. Forgiving others was a very simple issue but seeking forgiveness a mammoth task.
We could always forgive others any given moment of life but what about others forgiving us for deeds committed knowingly or unknowingly. Dominated by a bloated ego most human beings most of the time erred in life. This results in heartburning that could have been avoided. If we could overpower our ego we could definitely forgive others. Similar was the case with others. If they could overpower their ego, they could also forgive others. But how do we overpower or negate ego?
As long as human beings were powered by ego, animosity remains. Traveling path of spirituality moment we undo ego, all cause for animosity ceases to exist. We are easily able to forgive others, even if they have committed gruesome crime.
The act of forgiveness was never directed towards the physical manifest form. The act of forgiveness is always directed towards the soul atman, consciousness existing in the body. When human beings asked God for forgiveness, it was as a soul atman we were requesting God for forgiveness, never as a physical manifest human being. If we were truthful in our approach, God all the time forgives.
Forgiveness can only be exercised when both parties were truthful in their approach. The act of forgiveness always comes from within. It is one soul atman forgiving other.
